Description (last modified by Don-vip)

RTKLib Positioning Solution File (.pos) support has been added in #17829.

Right now JOSM considers date are expressed in ​UTC but in fact they're using ​GPS time.

They currently differ by 18 seconds (number of ​leap seconds added to UTC since 1980 UTC-GPS synchronization).

It's not easy to support leap seconds in Java because Java date/time classes don't support them.

The only Java libraries that support leap seconds are ​Time4J and ​threeten-extra.
